Markham: IITAC
Lecture series fall event was held on Saturday 21st September at the
Markham Convergence Center. Two distinguished speakers spoke on the occasion.
Jean Charest, former Premier of Quebec and partner in law firm McCarthy
Tetrault LLP spoke on Canada in Globalizing world: Challenges and
opportunities.

Prof Mark Weber, Associate Professor of Management and
Organizations, Conrad Business, Technology and Entrepreneurship Center,
University of Waterloo spoke on the value of storytelling in Business
communication.

Jean Charest in an entertaining talk shared some glimpses of
his eventful political career and shared his views about Canada’s place in a
rapidly changing world.

He joked that Canada’s population of 35 million is within the
margin of error compared to the Indian population and emphasized that with
aging population Canada needs immigration and must attract talented people to
grow its economy. He was happy to note that Canada has attracted many IITians
who are making a stellar contribution to the Canadian economy.

He made it clear that Canada’s growth will come from trade
and Canada has to solicit this trade aggressively as it is a small economy in
global terms. Canada must pursue bilateral trade deals with emerging economies
as well as must develop innovative new trading blocks like partnership with
European Union etc to get a good share of the global trade.

He pointed out that these strategies are being
implemented in recognition of ascendant Asian economic power to which the
western economies must adjust.

Prof Mark Weber in his impressive presentation pointed out
the importance of storytelling in Business communication. He gave simple and
effective demonstrations of how interesting stories are remembered by the
audience. He highlighted that a good communicator should have a number of
relevant stories and they need not be your own! These could be of your friends,
colleagues, suppliers or simply stories that you have read.

IIT Alumni Canada President Vinod Munshi informed the
audience that Pan IIT 2014 North America conference will be held in
Toronto and IITAC gearing up to hold this prestigious event which is
expected to attract over 1000 delegates from North America.
